Crypto Cubism
“Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.” ~ Picasso
Picasso was a creative genius and undeniably one of the 20th century’s greatest innovators. In fact, to this day Apple urges its employees to study Picasso’s work and mindset. I’ve always been a huge fan of Picasso; his desire to take risks, his energy and ambition, and his ability to see the world in entirely new and captivating ways.
This series of paintings draw a correlation between the genius of Picasso and that of well-known projects being built in the blockchain and crypto space. Re-imagining some of my favourite Picasso’s masterpieces, I’ve infused contemporary iconography and crypto themes to create this series for my 2020 exhibition Crypto Cubism.
